How to Speak Irish

It's almost St. Patrick's Day - time to drink green beer, do an Irish jig, eat corned beef and cabbage, pinch people who aren't wearing green, and time to say the few Irish words and expressions we know. "Top o' the morning to you!" we hear all day (long after morning is over). 

It's time to learn some more Irish words and expressions, thanks to Jesjes1 and her YouTube video. 

Follow along with this list of words and expressions she posted with her YouTube video: 

Arseways = "I did it all arseways" = I made a complete mess of it!
Deadly = awesome
Banjaxed = broken, no good
Bloody = strengthing adjective, used liberally
Brutal = terrible
Chips = french fries
Dosser = layabout, useless
Eejit = idiot
Gaff = house
Gawk = stare
How's the talent? = Is there anyone good looking about?
Kip, to have a = short sleep, nap
Knackered = very tired
Massive = brilliant, deadly
